Built From $75M in Compliance Trauma So You Don’t Have to Learn the Hard Way.

FounderVelocity™ equips fund managers and capital raisers with the defensive systems they wish they’d had before the audit, the subpoena, or the raid.

Compliance & Risk Management Systems for Fund Managers

FounderVelocity compliance and risk systems

The Risk Isn’t Compliance. It’s False Safety.

Most founders don’t know their weak points until it’s too late. Legal and compliance work doesn’t protect you unless it’s designed to defend you

The Silence Clause You Didn’t Know You Signed

Roughly 90–95% of SEC enforcement actions end in settlement.

Nearly all include no-admit/no-deny language and a lifetime gag order under 17 C.F.R. § 202.5(e).”

The Gag Rule is Unique

It bars individuals and companies from publicly disputing the SEC’s narrative—even truthfully—after settlement. In almost all cases, you lose your First Amendment rights by force of law

In Practice

The SEC files 600–700 enforcement actions each year. At least 600+ annually result in gag-bound outcomes. Over a decade, that’s 6,000+ people and firms permanently silenced from telling their side

This Isn’t Theory. It’s the System.

And it’s exactly why FounderVelocity™ and ManagerShield™ exist— to protect your intent, your infrastructure, and your voice before the system decides what your story is.

Node™

Node™ is an outcome-driven operating system for modern teams and organizations. In an increasingly decentralized world, traditional hierarchies and management models fall short. Node™ redefines how work gets done—structuring roles, responsibilities, and accountability around clear outcomes rather than physical presence or rigid reporting lines. Each “node” acts as a self-contained unit within a larger system, capable of receiving, processing, and transmitting value through well-defined protocols. It empowers teams to operate with clarity, agility, and autonomy—whether across departments or across continents.
I’ve built from the ground up three times — and each time, I’ve taken the lessons forward. What defines a person is how they rebuild.
